Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.02473 | $0.02473 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01236 | $0.01236 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00495 | $0.00495 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00247 | $0.00247 |
Grade A, and why
ATV-Phoenix AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — Build Charter: Phoenix builds Phoenix (self-hosting law)
Rises from its own ashes. This repo builds the lights-out software factory. The factory is built with the factory. Phoenix is both the product and the build harness — we dogfood it on itself. If Phoenix can't reliably build Phoenix, the thesis ("the harness, not the model, makes the agent reliable") is false. Every connector merged green is direct evidence that it's true.
Directive (Maverick, 2026-06-20): all work on the factory connectors is built under the Phoenix
lifecycle, gated by phoenix_sense. This file is the binding contract. Any agent (GitHub Copilot or
Microsoft Scout) working in this repo reads it first and obeys it. Strategy/"why" lives in the Obsidian
note Lights-Out Software Factory — OpenClaw, Phoenix & Continuous Learning.md; what has shipped lives
in README.md / CHANGELOG.md.
PII & privacy — never persist third-party people into this repo (non-negotiable, outranks the loop)
This repo is PUBLIC. A continuous-learning beat that scrapes real people into it is a privacy breach, not progress — this rule outranks "compound knowledge" and the build loop below.
- Never write third-party PII into any file, commit message, PR, issue, or gist. Third-party PII = a real person's name, handle, email, or a verbatim/attributable quote lifted from a Teams/Discord channel, meeting, email, or DM. Capture the idea, never the identity — de-identify to "community signal," "a practitioner," "channel consensus"; strip the name and the verbatim wording.
- WorkIQ / channel / mail content is private input, not publishable source. Read it for context; persist only the de-identified substance.
- Allowed: the repo owner's own identity (name, copyright, repos) and legitimate open-source license attribution a dependency requires (e.g. an upstream author's MIT copyright).
- Unattended beats self-censor by default: if you would not paste a line into this public repo with the named person standing next to you, it does not get committed. When in doubt, omit the person.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ATV-Phoenix AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository All-The-Vibes/ATV-Phoenix (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,473 tokens to every session, about $0.0124 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
